There is Solaris x86 (x64) now, but it was always the red-headed stepchild, badly supported, minimal HCL, no work done on the compiler to optimize for that architecture, lagged behind for patches, both from Sun and from vendors like Oracle. A world in which you could have Solaris on your Intel boxes and your SPARC boxes and compile fat binaries a la NeXTSTEP that would "just work" all the way from the desktop to the datacentre is a compelling one. But Sun lacked the courage to invest in Solaris on Intel until it was too late. |
